A 30-year-old mason named Alinur Fakir was brutally hacked to death in Lohagara upazila of Narail district after being called out under the pretext of clearing a debt of 18,000 Taka. The incident took place at around 10:00 PM on Saturday near the Kumardanga Government Primary School ground under Itna union of the upazila.
The deceased was identified as Alinur Fakir, son of Abdul Hai Fakir from Kumardanga village. His brother, Aminur Fakir, was also severely injured during the targeted assault.
According to police and family sources, Aminur Fakir lent 18,000 Taka to Rajib Sheikh, son of Jahangir Sheikh of the same village, during the last holy month of Ramadan. Although Rajib promised to return the money within two months, he kept delaying the payment. On Saturday night, Rajib called Aminur to the school ground, claiming he would finally clear the dues.
Aminur, accompanied by his brother Alinur, arrived at the designated spot. An altercation broke out between the two parties when they demanded the money. Suddenly, Rajib and his accomplices, armed with local sharp weapons, launched an attack on the brothers, leaving Alinur critically injured.
Hearing their screams, local residents rushed to the spot, causing the attackers to flee. The locals rescued the siblings and rushed them to the Lohagara Upazila Health Complex, where the attending emergency doctor, Dr. Mohammad Smith Miah, declared Alinur dead on arrival.
Inspector (Investigation) of Lohagara Police Station, Ajit Kumar Roy, stated on Sunday morning that additional police forces have been deployed in the area to maintain order. The body has been sent to the Narail District Hospital morgue for an autopsy, and multiple police teams are conducting raids to arrest the perpetrators.
